Summary Plan Description

401(k) Election

Effective January 1, 2018, participants can make elective contributions of $1.00 to $9.00 per hour, in one-dollar increments. If you are at least 50 years of age, or will turn 50 during the plan year, you are also eligible to make an additional "catch-up" contribution of $1.00 to $3.00 per hour, making your total contribution $10.00 to $12.00 per hour.

To make a timely election, you must complete
an Application For 401(k) Elective Contributions and return it to Carpenters Trusts. You must also
notify your employer on the first day of employment
but not later than the tenth business day
of employment. Timely notification allows your
employer to make the necessary changes to the
payroll process.

Once you make an election, that 401(k) election
amount remains in place, year after year, unless you elect to increase or decrease it during the
annual election period. You can increase or decrease your 401(k) contribution amount as many as two times in a calendar year. You can also elect to rescind your 401(k) contribution (elect a $0/hour contribution) even if you previously made two changes within the same calendar year.

If you move from one employer to another employer,
please provide a copy of the application
to your new employer on the first day of employment
but not later than the tenth business
day of employment. This is the only way your
employer will know to make 401(k) deductions
from your paycheck and how much to deduct.
